Doesn't feel great for Constructed or Wild. Seems playable in Arena, where the reward of a flexible 6 damage for 3 mana might just be good enough reward for 1 mana do nothing. We'll see...
I played some Odd Druid during Witchwood and Boomsday (so before Gonk, the Raptor was even released) and it wasn't all that bad. Claw was a pretty good card in that deck, although part of the reason was the synergy with Lesser Jasper Spellstone, which isn't in Standard anymore.
I just don't see how the reward is good enough though, failing to see what deck would play this outside of maybe Gonk Druid? Some kind of miracle druid MAYBE but even then I don't think it makes the cut.
You're probably right.....but.....I have hope. As you mention, the quest is VERY easy to complete, and, assuming it's drawn early, that's a heckuva lot of fuel for the Auctioneer to cycle through to whatever you're hoping for - Mecha'thun being the first thing that comes to mind.
Might be my personal savior for finally making Gonk payable,
but...more likely this will be trash for a class with unbelievable card draw who can find better use of its mana. In order for this to be even remotely relevant, druid would need weapons, keeping in mind that you not only have to hero power twice, you need to have played this first.

And here we are today, with Lost in the Park!
I like the incentive to attack as druid - there's something very flavourful about that!
Back on track with aggressive druid. Hope this one will be seen everywhere ! 5/5
If there was a simpler way to complete it in one go it may have been better but the new quest makes it even MORE difficult to complete this.
Other than Gonk, the Raptor memes I don't know... I mean I suppose can be also some kind of combo or Gadgetzan Auctioneer fodder

Gonk memes?
someone on hearthpwn pointed out this has great synergy with auctioneer. this would be great in a mecha'thun deck had naturalize not been hof'ed.
This doesn't seem very exciting. There's probably a more efficient use for your card slot & subsequent mana.
Obviously a very easy side quest to complete.

This gives me hope that they might push hero power druid a bit more now!

This side quest looks viable!
Propably meme tier Gonk deck, don't see how it could be worth taking up a slot in your deck unless there are some low cost spell combos.
Claw spells?
Claw
Is this going to bring back Gonk OTK's?? Maybe, we'll have to see. Anyways very interesting cards. It will be fun to play around with it.
As soon as I saw the card I though of Gonk. Let's see if it's finally competitive.
